Whether you are interested in contributing to Discovery, helping to shape its future, or simply sharing experiences of sharing and managing archives data, the day will have something for you.
The day will include:
· An update on progress with Discovery and our plans for the future, including technical development and the findings of our recent research into cataloguing and accessioning practice across the sector
· An opportunity for you to offer feedback on the Discovery service
· The challenges archives face getting catalogue content online and making it more visible to users and how Discovery might support that
· Discussion of the purpose and benefits of sharing data and how The National Archives can help to facilitate it
· How to build a robust and sustainable community for archives who contribute to Discovery
There will be a mixture of round table and group work. Attendees will have an opportunity to meet some of the people working on Discovery.
